The correct lewis structure for COH2 contains how many covalent bonds?

Four covalent bonds.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the attached picture in which you can find the Lewis dot structure for metanal (formaldehyde) we can see two C-H bonds and two C-O bonds via a double bond, thus, we can compute the type of each bond given the electronegativities of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen which are 2.1, 2.5 and 3.5 respectively:

Thus, since both electronegativity difference are less 1.7 we infer that all of them are covalent, therefore, it has four covalent bonds, two C-H bonds and a double C-O bond.

Best regards-

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
